On July 20, 2025, Captain Morgan, the UK’s top rum brand, drops Muck Pit Brew in Manchester. This drink blends Spiced Gold rum with mango and hop flavors, hitting like a crisp beer with a rum kick. It’s made for folks tired of their usual order. Two underground heavyweights, Badger and A Guy Called Gerald, are set to light up the launch. A Guy Called Gerald built acid house with tracks like ‘Voodoo Ray’, a tune that still drives dance floors wild. Badger, a newer name, is already making noise with his bold, genre-mixing DJ sets. Their energy promises a night to remember.
The day kicks off with Muck Pit Brew vans roaming Manchester, handing out free samples at spots like Directors Box, Quarter House, and Walkabout. Badger and A Guy Called Gerald will spin tracks and pour pints, building the vibe. The big moment comes at Manchester Cathedral, where they’ll team up for a first-time B2B set, blending jungle’s raw edge with fresh underground sounds. Want a free pint? Hit up any bar on the Muck Up Manchester map and say “Swap My Usual” for a taste of this new brew.
[Nin Taank], Captain Morgan’s Marketing Manager, shared: “Muck Pit Brew draws inspiration from production methods steeped in tradition – it perfectly blends these with current trends for tropical flavours. We wanted to give people something different to drink when out with their friends, and Captain Morgan Muck Pit Brew delivers that by offering a perfectly balanced drink that combines the hop flavours of a beer with the lightness of a spirit.” 
With the “Swap My Usual” deal letting punters trade their regular drink for a free pint at select bars, this event is all about breaking the mold—both in taste and tunes.
